Abstract
Based on the catalytic effect of nitrite on the color fading reaction of oxidation of thymol blue by potassium bromate in dilute phosphoric acid solution, a catalytic kinetic photometric method for the determination of trace amounts of nitrite was developed. The linear range for nitrite was found to be 0~6.5μg/25ml and the limit of detection to be 0.67ng·ml -1. The method has been applied to the determination of nitrite in several fresh fruit and vegetable samples with satisfactory results.
